It was a pleasure to sit and visit with. I have no complaints about this place. I never leave a review, but I had to for this one for a large group of people. This is a perfect place to stay.

Spacious Acommindations

I really enjoyed staying at the Buffalo Bunk House. It is a very spacious facility with all kinds of room and it is well stocked with all kinds of cookware. I was very comfortable there. The bunkhouse has several beds and would be an ideal location for a large family. Thelma the owner is a great host and on top of all that it is also affordable.

Love the homey feeling of Jasper and this place was everything we hoped for. Got to hike a little with my 4 kids before the rain moved in, but the Ozark cafe up the road was delicious as always and getting to hunker down, play board games, watch movies and just relax was a perfect way to spend the second leg of our trip. The kids kept asking on our way home, when we can go back? So we definitely will be visiting again!

GREAT FOR GROUPS

Some friends and I take a bike trip to a different state every year. This time it was to Arkansas and had a great time. Accomadations were just what we needed. Plenty of room to park the bikes and lot of room to sit out on the patio and enjoy the cooler nights. Took several rides in the surrounding mountains, great scenery and winding roads. Would definitely recommend this place, great for a group get together.

This place is a gem, best deal in the area. It’s big and has 4 beds, a couch, a rocking chair and a table that can seat 6. There are also outdoor tables and a charcoal grill. The place is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped with pots, utensils, and plates, there’s even a deep fryer and a crockpot. There’s only 2 restaurants in town so this was a must for us. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of blankets. The bathroom has plenty of linens and the washer and dryer are new. It sits close to town but it sits on a large property and there are plenty of birds all over. I would definitely recommend this place and will probably return.

Stay here if you appreciate good old fashioned hospitality

Everything about the rental was perfect but the surprise was the hospitality. We didn’t get to visit with Thelma as much as we would have liked, she has a busy schedule, but we did get to visit with her son Brian quite a bit. Between Brian and the family dog, “Scout,” we felt instantly right at home. He is very interesting to talk to and “Scout’s” adorable low key demeanor is absolutely heartwarming. Brian was very respectful of our “mission” for being there and he seemed able to sense that we enjoyed talking with him so much that we would lose track of our “mission,” (sightseeing), and could have easily spent the day gabbing with him and messing with “Scout” instead of doing what we came for. As a result, it was as if he would keep the morning visits brief, making sure that our stay was comfortable and letting us get on the road before we started “burning daylight” with more gabbing. After our day full of breathtaking scenery, we looked forward to returning to the bunk house for another helping of the hospitality that Brian and Scout provided. I’ve made many trips to the Ozarks and always love going there, but this was the best trip ever. There is a guest book there, and after reading some of the comments, it seems that my experience is very similar to those who stayed there before us. I will be returning for another “heaping helping” of the good old fashioned hospitality that they are serving there just as soon as I am able.

This place was everything we needed to be home away from homeShe has signs with directions on different things throughout so we didnt need to ask a thingWas very cleanNear where we wanted to goJust exactly what we hoped for Very private and quiet We heard no outside noise They have a sweet calm friendly dog named Scout He's great We plan to go back in the fall with my 84 year old mom, 2 adult daughters and 4 year old granddaughter They will love itThere is 1 bed and washer and dryer in room near bathroom. The main room has 3 beds, a great roku TV ,and satelite or dish that we didn't use. Comfortable chairs throughout and a fully stocked kitchen if we wanted to cook. Wonderful wifi signal especially considering this is in the hills and signal gets lost while driving. It has a window air-conditioning that works very well. Kept the place very cold like we like it. And plenty of extra blankets and towels if we needed it. Also the shower has great hot water that didn't run out. And I like very hot water. I have only the highest praise for this place. Nothing negative at all. This was a totally positive experience and the price was very affordable.

About the host

Hosted by Thelma Pruitt

Host profile image
My family goes back 5 generations in Newton County. After high school, I married Avery Pruitt and we built our home on a section of the Pruitt farmstead. I attended college when our children were pre-school and I served as center director/teacher for the local Headstart program for 13 years. I then managed our family trucking business for 10 years. I'm currently working as instrutional assistant at Jasper Public Schools.

Why they chose this property

Avery Pruitt was born and raised on this section of the Pruitt farmstead - a fifth generation in the Pruitt lineage. The place is decorated with family heirlooms, reminiscent of earlier times. I live in the home we built in 1964, ready to welcome family, friends and guests to the Buffalo River Bunkhouse.

What makes this property unique

Every morning when I awake, I'm reminded that I live in paradise, and I welcome guests to share the quiet and the pastoral scenery of the Little Buffalo River valley just one mile East of Jasper, AR on Hwy. 74 EAST.
